Anyone ken how hard it is to get in?
has any of your family been in bother with the police before?? if so it' a no no.
I didn’t that that was the case anymore.
I used to recruit folk to an employment that was exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act [not the police]. There were offences that were considered not to be significant enough to disqualify anyone but they all had to be declared on the application. Not declaring them there, or sometimes the very minor ones could be included at the interview, meant automatic disqualification.
Having said that if someone had a string of even the most minor of offences they were out on the grounds that it showed a lack of respect for the law.
Offences that involved dishonesty, violence or theft were automatic no nos.
Cheers for the feedback guys.
Family hasnt been in any bother with the Police (really dont see why that matters to me though?).
Ill examine and thoroughly check through my application pack.
Thanks again.
It matters incase you have to nick them.
Do they advertise for dedicated mail-room staff? :faf::faf:
Judging by the sound of the mumbling, stutterring prick I've been dealing with recently regarding some nuisance phone calls, I should think you'd be Chief Super in 2-3 years Andy..
Can't be bothered quoting everyone but it does still matter if someone in your family has been in bother with the police.
I know someone very recently who was knocked back because of this even though they have not seen the said member of family for over 10 years!
If it's really the case that people with criminal convictions are knocked back from the Police it makes a mockery of the whole 'justice' system where rehabilitation is constantly bleated on about.
So you can become a normal member of society again and be a law abiding citizen but because of something that may have happened X amount of years ago you can't get in.
FWIW, I do think that there should be a time bar, say 3-5 years since your last conviction.
Does this type of thing apply to the fire service or ambulance crews?
they do a full health check as you will know, but if you have any underlying or previous conditions/health problems they will want to get the full extense of it, even if it was from childhood.
good luck with it and hope you are successful!
If you were to get in, do you reckon you could turn a blind eye to a pished young lad having a pee in the early hours when staggering home from a night out?
Folk complain about having to pay 20 pence to use the bogs at Waverley... Wait until you're fined £40 for pishing when you can see your house on the horizon. Didn't know wether to laugh or cry.
